Sambo Khmer & Thai restaurant

 Siem Reap - One of the popular Khmer restaurant in Siem Reap and it was quite full.   Mostly foreigners filled this restaurant.  The menu has one page of Khmer food and 3 pages of Thai dishes.   The owner was friendly and explained that her sister was a chef in Bangkok for many years for the many Thai dishes.  Sambo is the name of her father.

Location:  Wat Damnak, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia

Fresh spring roll 

Sir Fried Ginger

This dish tasted different as instead of using ginger, the Chef used blue ginger - it did not blend well.

Amok

Instead of our dish Khmer red curry, they served us Amok resulting in this dish being complimentary.

Khmer Red curry

I liked the potato cooked in this dish and it was delicious and rich in taste.

Fried Khmer fish

This is the common Tilapia but tasted bland and has to be dipped into the separate sauce to bring out the flavour.

Hot holy basil

This dish is stir fried with onion, lemongrass, khafir lime leaves and Khmer basil.  

Stir fried morning glory with garlic
